Stunningly beautiful. Huge room — really a suite. Very comfortable bed. Garden doors that open to paths and outdoor seating. 10 minute drive into St. Andrew’s.
Lydia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Peaceful, clean and comfortable

Beautiful castle in the middle of a forest about 10 minute drive from the center of St Andrews (you will need a car or taxi if you stay here). Had a mini apartment that was enormous and spotless with huge sitting and bedroom with very comfortable bed. Manager/owner was very proactive/responsive, but be aware that I didn’t see anyone the entire weekend. Kitchen was stocked with many breakfast things and real coffee. Will absolutely be staying here again.

Very unique castle deep in the woods just outside st. Andrews. Our room, which had a bathroom, kitchen, an enormous bedroom and great living room
brad, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a beautiful property sitting in the forest. It was just outside of St. Andrews, avoiding the hustle and bustle. David the proprietor is the star of this place. We could have listened to his stories forever. We had the lovely apartment at the top of the castle with a sitting room, spacious bedroom, kitchen, and bath. Breakfast was supplied in the kitchen and had plenty of options. We drove about 7 miles into Anstruther for dinner.
Leeanda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It's a lovely castle! While the tour of the castle was fun and very informative, the castle was by in large not accessible due to host living quarters. My wife and I would have liked to see more of the castle itself and have a historical handout to keep. Obviously, the castle was the highlight. While we stayed downstairs in the old kitchen, which was by the was a pleasant experience, we had a desire to sit in the library and have tea or coffee and absorb the ambiance.

This property presents the unique opportunity for a true Scottish experience in an authentic castle. Hosts were very friendly and extremely helpful. We just say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay! Highly recommended. 5 Star review!

We LOVED staying in this beautiful castle and really enjoyed the owners, the big rooms, and the beautiful property. This was a very so Ciao place for a great value.

Unique and memorable stay

Stravithie castle is an opportunity to experience something quite unique and special. The welcome included a brief tour of David’s home and interesting information about the previous owners. This was in addition to being shown our own accommodation which was spacious and comfortable. David’s dog was a most welcoming host too! I was most appreciative of the effort that David had gone to in catering for my gluten intolerance. A place that we would certainly love to return to if we are visiting the area in the future.

Amazing and unique place to stay if you’re visiting St. Andrews. A short cab or bus ride to town or the many golf courses. Very quiet in the evenings and we slept like stones. Highly recommended!

Beautiful castle in a quiet neighborhood! The radiator worked great and so did the renovated bathroom/shower. The owner David is super friendly and a joy to chat with. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

David is a fabulous host. Lovely rooms in a stunning setting in beautiful gardens. David gave us great ideas of things to do in the area. Highly recommend!
Mr WG, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A thoroughly enjoyable experience in every respect. Spotlessly clean with great attention to detail. It had that personal touch which is lacking in many establishments. The property was easy to locate due to the excellent communication from the owner. On arrival we were warmly greeted and given a short history of the property together with some very helpful housekeeping information. The accommodation was very spacious, comfortable and more than met our expectations. We will have no hesitation in returning should we be in the area at some future date. A most enjoyable and memorable experience.
James, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The rooms and sitting areas were spacious and wonderful. The hosts were very lovely and welcoming people. The only downside was low water pressure in the shower. Truely enjoyed our stay though and would again in a heartbeat!
Michelle, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The owners were amazing and gave us a wonderful experience with a tour of the rooms. They were so accommodating and made sure we were comfortable. It is so peaceful and quiet at night, and the beds are very comfortable. The grounds are beautiful! We highly recommend it for anyone who wants a quiet, peaceful oasis only a few miles from St. Andrews. 10 out of 10 - we will definitely come back when we visit again!
Joshua, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful stay in this charming, quiet, self contained room. Good wi-fi, nice kitchen and good, modern bathroom. My only wish is that the room would have had a bath but I knew it didn’t at the time of booking, so no complaints. Hosts were excellent, very friendly and were very respectful of privacy.
Sam, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property is absolutely perfect. The room is clean, comfortable and all amenities including wifi are available. We slept better than we do at home. The area is very safe with no other properties visible for miles. The kitchenette was perfect, romantic and well stocked. The proprietors were very friendly, welcoming and helpful to our needs. What a dream stay.
